About LI Detailers
LI Detailers has spent three decades working on the surfaces of Long Island's most expensive cars, and the Plainview shop at 1470 Old Country Road still treats protection as a craft rather than a product off a shelf. The operation covers the whole stack: auto detailing and paint correction, Ceramic Pro coatings, Clear Bra paint protection film, vinyl wraps, and window tinting. The clientele arrives in Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Audi R8s, and the shop is built around owners who already know what they are looking at. Film is the headline discipline. LI Detailers installs across the industry's serious catalog, working with XPEL, STEK, SunTek, 3M and LLumar, and posts publicly as a Protek PPF certified shop. Clear Bra coverage runs from high-impact partial fronts through full-body installs, with headlight protection film for the lenses that Long Island's expressway grit reaches first. The coating side is anchored by Ceramic Pro, the New York nano-ceramic system the shop has built much of its name on, alongside graphene chemistry and 9H-rated products. What separates the menu from most Long Island detailers is where the coatings go once they leave the paint. Ceramic Pro's Home Solutions line puts the same chemistry on glass, stone and architectural surfaces, and the Fashion & Accessories program extends it to leather goods and apparel. A shop that coats a handbag and a hood with related technology is either curious or thorough, and three decades in the luxury market suggests the latter. The second unusual line is storage. LI Detailers offers year-round climate-controlled vehicle storage, which matters more than it sounds on an island where a coated, filmed, corrected car otherwise spends February under a tarp absorbing salt air. Road salt does not need a puddle to do damage; it travels as airborne grit, settles into seams and wheel arches, and holds moisture against metal for months at a time. A car that sits out the winter indoors, at a stable temperature, skips that entire season of slow chemistry. Protection and storage under one roof means the work done in October is still intact in April, and the owner never has to negotiate with a tarp. The shop also retails what it uses. Its online store carries Adam's Polishes, Gyeon, Rupes polishers, Protek and Americana Global, which is a quiet form of accountability: a detailer selling the products it works with in public has to stand behind both. Andrew runs the front of the operation and Carl works alongside him, and customers name them rather than the business, which is usually the tell of a shop small enough to care and established enough to cope. The Old Country Road location sits minutes from the Long Island Expressway and Route 106, drawing from Syosset, Hicksville, Bethpage and Jericho. Hours run 8 to 6 on weekdays and a short Saturday morning, closing at two, with booking handled online.
Reputation & Reviews Summary
LI Detailers holds a Google standing that few Long Island protection shops reach, and the written accounts explain how: customers name Andrew personally in review after review, and they keep coming back with different cars. The film work carries most of the writing. One owner describes an Escalade V finished in stealth black paint protection film; another picked up a Cybertruck after a wrap and noted it was his fourth visit to the shop. That repeat pattern is the strongest signal in the feedback, because a customer who returns for a fourth project has already audited the first three. Google's own review topics rank the shop's traffic clearly, with ceramic coating and coatings leading, window tinting behind them, and Clear Bra installation close after, which matches a shop whose reputation was built on protection rather than a quick wash. The consultation draws its own praise. Reviewers describe Andrew walking them through options and arriving at a fair price rather than the largest one, and several accounts came from owners of cars where a bad decision is expensive: a 458 Spider, an R8 Spyder, a garage of Lamborghinis serviced weekly for years. One customer had the shop clear-wrap a forty-foot boat, which says something about both the range and the confidence. The experience notes are consistent. Customers describe a facility with the equipment and lighting the work actually requires, progress photographed and sent daily on longer projects, and a team that treats a Volvo daily driver with the same attention as the exotic parked beside it. Owners who arrived through the shop's social feeds report that the finished work matched what the feed had promised. The practical advice threaded through the record: book the consultation before committing to a coverage level, ask which film suits how the car is actually parked and driven, and use the online booking for the fastest slot. For Long Island owners deciding who touches paint they cannot easily replace, thirty years in the same trade is the argument the reviews keep making for them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What film brands does LI Detailers install?
The shop works across the industry's premium catalog, including XPEL, STEK, SunTek, 3M and LLumar, and posts publicly as a Protek PPF certified shop. Clear Bra coverage runs from partial front packages through full-body installs, with headlight protection film available for the lenses that take the first hits.
Does LI Detailers coat anything other than cars?
Yes. Alongside automotive Ceramic Pro work, the shop runs Ceramic Pro Home Solutions for architectural glass and stone surfaces, and a Ceramic Pro Fashion & Accessories line that applies the same family of chemistry to leather goods and apparel.
Can I store my car at LI Detailers?
The shop offers year-round climate-controlled vehicle storage, which is unusual for a detailer. For an owner who has just paid for correction, coating and film, storing the car somewhere the salt air cannot reach it protects the work through the winter months.
Where is LI Detailers and when is it open?
The shop is at 1470 Old Country Road in Plainview, NY 11803, minutes from the Long Island Expressway. Weekdays run 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday is a short morning that ends at 2:00 PM, and the shop is closed Sunday. Call (631) 828-9166 or book online.
Does LI Detailers sell detailing products as well as services?
It does. The online store carries the brands the shop uses in the bays, including Adam's Polishes, Gyeon, Rupes polishers, Protek and Americana Global, so customers maintaining coated or filmed paint at home can buy the same chemistry the technicians reach for.
What kinds of vehicles does LI Detailers work on?
Both ends of the spectrum, from Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Audi R8s through Escalades, Cybertrucks and family Volvos. One customer even had a forty-foot boat clear-wrapped, so the shop's surface work is not limited to what has four wheels.
